This wrestling match just keeps going on, doesn't it? I think I'll get a snack or something, pop back in when the thumping sounds stop and someone says something again.

From the Flowers of Evidence we discover that the second part of the codex is hidden in a post office, another very stupid place to hide a codex. Team Evil recovers this. We learn that the third part is hidden in the arena locker room, which I guess is where the dude was hiding it in the opening part of the movie.

Team evil sends goons to recover it, but they are intercepted by Police Guys In Suits and Wrestling Women, resulting in Fist Fights.

Okay, so dumb stuff continues to happen. Directed by the evil podcast, Charlotte, the brainwashed girl, takes a syringe that was under her pillow (where syringes normally are stored, if you are part of an evil plot) and stabs a guy, I think killing him. Then a Wrestling Woman intercepts her but is defeated. Then she gets some flowers from the Doctor guy that she searches for clues, because clues are hidden in nonsensical items in this movie.

every time I see a MGM Grand betting app, I can’t not think of Biff Tannen.

OK, that little camera / transmitter bug thingy that the villain is using to spy on Charlotte while he... uh... telecasts mind-control commands at Charlotte: anyone have any theories about how it is managing to track and dolly and pan around the room while also staying concealed over there on the bookshelf?

the coconut clopping is awesome. I want all my fights to be coconut clopping.

Our villain, the Black Dragon, seems to spend a lot of time in front of the TV. He should get outside a little more often.

Okay, so I guess the plan to get the Aztec Codex is for the Black Dragon to use his wizard powers to brainwash the kidnapped lady, who will then steal the codex or otherwise get it, accompanied by a threatening theremin orchestra.

It would be a real shame if that comic relief character were blowgunned in the next scene to amp up the peril and drama

Real shame

*makes vigorous "BLOWGUN HIM ALREADY" motions*

Kidnapped Lady (undergoing brainwashing)

Quest Guy (RIP)

The moral of the story is that if you're entombed for eternity waiting for something to happen, it can't hurt to improve yourself by learning some practical shapeshifting. It'll help you pass the time, and might impress your adversaries someday #monsterdon

Okay, so we sent the smallest guy and the brainwashed girl to take back the breastplate, but then we lost the brainwashed girl and the small guy got scared so he left in a panic, and now everyone has to go to the pyramid to try to rescue the brainwashed girl before the mummy wakes up and I guess eats her?

if that mummy doesn’t end up in a wrestling ring it will be the greatest missed opportunity in cinematic history #Monsterdon

No one's blaming the little weaselly guy for just leaving Charlotte in the pyramid with the mummy and driving home??

I regret only that the entire Black Dragon gang was found dead and mangled by that mummy, thus leaving no character plausibly motivated to blowgun our comic relief character. Alas, alas, alas.

These guys need to cut their losses. Ring up the British Museum, let them know you've got an ancient artifact priced for quick sale. Let the Brits deal with it.

So all this is happening because the archaeologist had a bad feeling, and knew they shouldn't take the breastplate, and then a mummy came after them, but they still took the breastplate anyway? Sometimes you have to confront your self-sabotage
